Shitty country. We don't even have community libraries that can operate for 24 hours. Even internet cafe is a problem to get these days.

Yo Bro any chance we can all chip in to do something for her? Maybe all contribute to pay boarding school fees or whatever? These are the people that need the whole brands support.

Poor boy in similar circumstances

In a similar YEN.com.gh report, a young man has been spotted studying under a street light because they could not afford electricity in their house.

According to a news report compiled by Celebritiesbuzz, it was revealed that the boy lives in a wooden structure with his family who obviously live in penury.

young boy whose name has not been mentioned is a great inspiration as many students do not like to go the extra mile for academic excellence.
